T: Trebuchet MS #AtoZChallenge

posted on 4/23/2016 06:23:00 PM

I don't know about you all, but I do have a favorite font that is always my default font on all documents. Yeah, call me silly if you want to but 'Trebuchet MS' is a font that I've been in love with since I was a child. This is the default font on my emails, word and excel documents as well as my notepad. There is something very clean about this font. Every letter gets the correct width and it is very easy to read. It looks professional and playful at the same time.

Since I'm an IT slave, I'm involved in creating and updating a lot of documents. No matter what the font used earlier is, I always changed it to Trebuchet before I start working on it. You might consider this an a OCD quirk, but this is something that is very important to me. The only thing that I hate about my iPhone is that I cannot change the font used in it. A single document with different fonts troubles my eye. I don't know what people were thinking when they prepare professional documents that have different fonts and in different sizes. If I could, I would print them out and tear them apart and set them on fire. Yes, it troubles me that much!

All my default blogger themes have always had the Trebuchet font. It is very easy to read this font. Or so I think. I also hate the fact that this font is not available on my Kindle. I do love the Caecilia font on it though, that makes reading a breeze. But given a chance to choose between these two, Trebuchet would win hands down. I also like Comic Sans a lot. But that is too playful to be used in a work place. Since my work laptop doubles up as the laptop I used for writing, I retain the default fonts. It has been ages since I did anything on my personal laptop and I don't even recall the fonts used in it. That laptop is only for torrenting stuff.

Since my recent blog themes are all not blogger ones, it is difficult to customize the fonts used. So I just let it be. I can always change the font of the post via blogger itself before publishing, but it gets too tedious. Since I do not like multiple fonts on the same page, I'd have to change the fonts of the side bar too. And that is a nightmare, so I just let it be.

Ha Ha! that was good to know. When I saw the post topic, I wondered what was the font doing here :)I hate Arial for documents and mails. So I usually change them to Calibri. But not my favorite as such. I like Trebuchet, verdana, comic sans, lucida calligraphy and seoge too :)

About The Blog

Every written word in this space is my thoughts alone. Do not try to relate it to your life and create a scene in my circles. Believe me, if I wanted to write about someone who has wronged me, I'd write a story and kill that person off in the first line. As grotesquely as possible.
Stop making assumptions. But hey, if the shoe fits, lace up the bitch and wear it!

My Reading Dose

I'd read a shorter version of this in school and loved it back then. Now after I read this, I still feel the same. The smartness of Portia and the way she handles the entire situation with wit is commendable.

This probably is one of those books where I've loved every word, every situation, every page and every character (except the mother). It is such a wonderful story that I can't stop thinking about it even though I have finished reading th...

How I wish I had read this book as a child. Coraline is a dreamer and an explorer in own words. I loved the tale that the author has created and this is a very good children's book. As an adult, I did not enjoy the imaginary world that C...

I only heard of this book when it won the award for the best fiction of 2017 on Goodreads. I had immediately added it to my TBR back then. After that I read many glowing reviews of this book from bloggers whose recommendations I immensel...

I loved this book. This talks about the true nature and color of humans without all the unicorn fluff! The author has given a fantastic realistic twist to the otherwise silly and far-fetched tales.
While 'The beans of avarice' is my fa...
